If Trump does half of what he's said he'll do on 'Day One', he's going to have a very busy day. It includes pardoning the Jan 6th defendants, slapping 25% tariffs on imported goods and kicking men out of women's sports.

Donnybrook Shell Station blockaded

category dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Friday October 06, 2006 22:07author by Jim Report this post to the editors

A large group of Shell to Sea supporters blockaded the Donnybrook Shell garage this evening for the best part of two hours. There was a a heavy garda presence that attempted unsuccessfully to break the blockade and in the end only drew more attention to the protest. Members of Anarchist Youth, Labour Youth, UCD Students Union, republicans, Irish language speakers and a large number of non aligned activists took part in the blockade.

Approximately 8 Gardai attempted to break the blockade and threatened arrest but activists stood their ground peacefully and refused to budge - so in the end the gardaí just stood around re-inforcing the numbers at the blockade. An RTE reporter and camera crew took footage and statements and there was great support from motorists and passers by. For the most part the forecourt was completely empty - when usually at rush hour the station could expect to be full.
